Hope with Depression
From: £6.99
“This supportive book offers a useful insight into the complexity and severity of depression, a mental disorder that is increasingly spoken about but still often misunderstood. Drawing on her own experience of depression as well as her years of work as a counsellor, Lynn recognises that each person’s illness is unique and provides practical information on a range of symptoms, therapies and treatments.” Marjorie Wallace, CEO & Founder, SANE
Depression affects more than 300 million people worldwide from all walks of life, and can be a completely debilitating and isolating mental illness. Lynn Crilly speaks from personal and professional experience, having suffered depression herself, and provides much needed positive, practical answers, illustrated with observations and anecdotes from carers and sufferers themselves, Hope with Depression explains the many varieties of depression, how to spot them and the possible causes and drivers, and gives a balanced guide to available treatments – both mainstream and ‘alternative’ – in the context of what has worked in Lynn’s experience. This is a practical, supportive guide for anyone with this condition or helping someone with depression, be they a family member, teacher, sports coach, workplace colleague or friend. It recognises that each person’s illness and recovery will differ and having detailed knowledge and a full toolkit of treatment options is the way to empower each individual with hope for recovery.
